A mother and child were flown by helicopter to a hospital and a third person was injured Wednesday when a westbound sedan crossed the Interstate 10 median near Trainer Hale Road and struck an eastbound Ford F-150 truck, Cibolo police said.

Cibolo Police Sgt. John Ruiz said he was not certain what caused the sedan with the mother and child inside to cross the grassy median about 5:20 p.m.

A man, who appeared to be in his 40s, driving the truck also was hospitalized. Neither the hospitals where they were transferred nor their conditions were immediately available.

The crash left debris scattered across the road and a traffic jam several miles long as the Cibolo Fire Department worked for about 30 minutes to extract the man from the vehicle.

Ruiz said the child, who appeared to be 4 or 5-years-old, was “crying and trying to sit up,” while the mother, in her 20s, was in and out of consciousness.
